Love Poem: Double Barrel

Double Barrel

I am the new taste of irony
In all that I say is all about you
It's my new form of hilarity
Because in the end you won't know the truth
I'm think I'm through with the sympathy
I don't care if you care or not
I'm still dealing with the empathy
Because this opportunity is too good to pass up

We can turn it up, burn it down
You'll still remain oblivious

I'm not feeling guilty
That you can't see
What I can see
It's breaking down that built me
You have to agree
You're perfectly...

It's my obvious invisibility
That's making me laugh because all of the truth
Is showing through all this ambiguity
It's funny to know that you never knew
At the end of a long road of tyranny
Is it wrong that I'm privately laughing at you?
Oh I am the new taste of irony
Because this time I've got one over you

We can turn it up, burn it down
You'll always be oblivious

I'm not feeling guilty
That you can't see
Just what I mean
It's breaking down that built me
You have to agree
You're perfectly
Oblivious!!!
